@@fatimahmacklin5597 you need to take your car into a shop/ mechanic, someone whom has ford maintenance software. You need to tell them that you need a PCM update 15-0149. He explained the purpose and reasoning of the update perfectly. There’s nothing mechanically wrong with your vehicle it’s just the computing software and parameters in which the computer was originally designed. So yeah take it to a shop lol

My 2009 Explorer has a bad idle that keeps dipping down to 400 and back up to 600 rpm then back down and I can hear my air conditioner, turning on and off, and my friend told me it was because you’re low on Freon same thing you said I tried everything PCV valve EGR new hoses and sometimes the computer corrects it and then it goes away. It’s frustrating because at the light in intersection, I have to put it in neutral. It kind of helps a little bit when I do that but couple of times it went dead and I had to hurry and start the car back up again.

TSB aren’t like recalls, if you are out of warranty a TSB isn’t free. TSB are there to help solve a problem that the technician might not figure out on there own, or to speed up repair because the issue is already known.
